lyrics

I've been running I just can not get away
I get the feeling that I'm not going to escape
They just won't let up
Or be sensible
It's an elaborate set up
To act responsible

It's 2AM now so I won't get back to sleep
All my problems want to have a word with me
I don't want to get up
I feel terrible
These demons are fed up
And I am vulnerable

Thank God for hope
And alcohol
To help me pretend
I have control
This city life
Is eating my soul
I don't know who
I'm doing it for

I'll get some whiskey why don't you grab us a seat?
I want to tell you what I think everything means
You have to get out
Or accept a role
Why imprison yourself
While you're renting a soul

Think bigger picture, don't waste everything now
Impulse is addictive, start kicking or you'll drown
There's shades of good left
In this world you know
It just takes some time
For your mind to grow

Thank God for hope
And alcohol
To help me pretend
I have control
This city life
Is eating my soul
I don't know who
I'm doing it for

The time will come to go
For the very last time
What am I supposed to do?
What is there left to find?
Another tomorrow
More of the same mountains to face
Interrupted by moments of gusto
Just keep pushing to see how much you can take
I know
How to be alone
When my mind is a scary place to go
I need to level up to feel at home

Thank God for hope
And alcohol
To help me pretend
I have control
This city life
Is eating my soul
I don't know who
I'm doing it for
